Biography
Vittorio Saccheri was born in 1666 in Savoy, a small state in northern Italy. Saccheri was a brave soldier, but an inept besieger. Due to his ineptitude in offensive warfare, Saccheri was made the commander of the garrison of the Savoyard capital of Turin and defended the city during the War of the Spanish Succession. Saccheri was killed in action in 1702 during the Siege of Turin, in which the French Army seized the capital.
